Determination of Bonded vs. Unbonded Cross Sections

For the purposes of this section, a cross section is considered as being "with bonded tendons" if the majority of the tendons in the cross section (based on vector-component areas) are bonded. Cross sections that do not qualify as "with bonded tendons" are considered as being "with unbonded tendons". A cross section without tendons is therefore considered as being "with unbonded tendons".
